About Me

I am a board-certified internist and nephrologist with special expertise in diagnosing and treating the kidney diseases associated with cancer and its treatments. Doctors with this type of expertise (sometimes called “nephro-oncologists”) provide care to patients who are experiencing:

the deleterious effects of chemotherapy on the kidneys (nephrotoxicity)

severely impaired renal function requiring dialysis, and who also need chemotherapy to treat their cancer

any of the complex metabolic disturbances that cancer patients can develop that also affect the kidneys.

I joined Memorial Sloan Kettering in 1978. Along with other doctors on the Renal Service I consult with colleagues throughout the Memorial Sloan Kettering (surgeons, oncologists, pediatric oncologists, other specialists, and physicians in the intensive care unit) to help provide optimal care for patients who are experiencing the disorders described above.

Clinical Trials

As home to one of the world’s top cancer research centers, Memorial Sloan Kettering is typically involved in more than 900 clinical trials at a given time. Currently, clinical trials focused on the conditions I treat are enrolling new patients.

Insurance

Most major health insurers offer plans that include MSK as one of their in-network providers. If MSK is in-network, it means all our doctors are too. Medicaid and New York State Medicare also provide benefits for care at MSK.
